Lila Bean a Long-Haired Chihuahua born March 7, 2013 crossed the Rainbow Bridge on August 20, 2026.

Lila Bean was a tiny girl with a giant personality For 13 wonderful years, Beans filled the life of her mom, Vicky Sylvaria, with love, laughter, companionship, and just the right amount of mischief.

Lila's family included her beloved human brother, Keith Brockman and her four-legged friends, George, Mia, Marshall II and Britney. She treasured her family and made sure everyone knew she was very much in charge.

Beans loved her ducky and her balls, but one of her favorite pastimes was being pampered. She adored her spa days at Tidy Tails, where she was treated like the princess she was. She loved the attention and affection from the staff and happily soaked up every bit of being spoiled.

She also loved going to the park to watch the children play. The kids were always happy to give her affection, and Lila was more than happy to accept it.

Beans had an important responsibility: neighborhood patrol. Every morning after breakfast, Lila would take her position on the back of the couch and begin her daily surveillance, barking at anyone who dared to walk on her sidewalk.

When she wasn't protecting the neighborhood, her favorite place was in bed with Mom, where she could snuggle comfortably and enjoy her favorite foods - chicken and treats.

One day, when the housekeeper arrived, Lila decided it was the perfect opportunity to make her great escape. She snuck out of the house and made her way to CVS, where she decided she needed a snack and proceeded to steal a bag of chips. It took the staff 15 minutes to catch her. Soon the police arrived and “arrested” her, Mom had to leave work and come bail her out of custody. Lila even made the police log in the local newspaper.

Tiny body. Big personality. Criminal Record.

Rest peacefully, sweet Beans. Your patrol is finally over. May you spend eternity curled up in the coziest bed, surrounded by treats, toys and all the love you gave so freely.
